What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
August 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $7.99. It has been discounted 40 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 9 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $8.87. The record reaches that level 2 times.
Value puts it in the top 24 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 88 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fallout: New Vegas ($9.99, scores 92) beats it on value, while it beats S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl ($59.99, scores 50).
Steam's global achievement data puts 35 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 21 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 1,056 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Поначалу чувствуется халтура и в геймплее, и в сюжете, НО игра прекрасно оптимизирована, прокачка реально ощущается и выборы влияют на концовку. Режим лазутчика крутой, а вот длс ещё не щупал - не знаю. Крепкая игра по фильму (а вот наличие огнестрела и постельные сцены совсем ни к чему)
As an avid Terminator fan this game is kind of a dream-come-true. Certainly a solid shooter/light RPG in its own right, with a level of reverence for the source material which makes it feel highly immersive.
Cool game that makes a better job at storytelling than any movie past second. Also a fun shooter with item crafting.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Terminator: Resistance scores 59/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/954740/terminator-resistanceThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 18, price as of Sep 24.
